Selena Quintanilla's style and beauty influenced an entire generation of Latinos. From her makeup and hair, to her fashion choices (all of which she designed herself), the Queen of Tejano rocked every piece of fabric she wore on stage. We created five contemporary outfits inspired by Selena's iconic looks:

To create these outfits, we enlisted the help of makeup artist Belladelune, and Trunk Club stylist and South Texas native Sofia Maldonado.

Sofia tells BuzzFeed, "As a Latina from Texas trying to make it 'big,' I connected with her ambition and Selena's story...Her songs were powerful, fun, and made people feel good. You could always count on a big dance party when "Bidi Bidi Bom Bom" or "Como la Flor" would come on at Quinceañeras or weddings."

"When creating these looks, I kept in mind that Selena has such a strong and loyal fan base, so I wanted to stay as true to her original looks as possible while incorporating today's trends."

Sofia's thoughts: You cant go wrong with a perfect fitting pair of ripped jeans and a leather jacket. The ruffles and lace up design on this IRO shirt took the outfit to the next level. I made sure to pick a shoe simple enough, like a black pump, but with the leather laces to tie the whole outfit together, pun intended.

Sofia's thoughts: I wanted to represent this look almost exactly because it was so simple, but I knew I had to freshen it up and make it wearable. I did this by finding a shorter skirt in the same color. I also picked a fun heel in a nude color that made it flirty. Simple flat gladiator sandals or a wedge would work here too for the summer.

The "Houston Astrodome" Look

Sofia's thoughts: Selena's purple jumpsuit is one her fans will always remember and love. I knew I had to find something that was dramatic and different, but simple enough for the modern day woman to actually want to wear and OF COURSE, it had to be in a purple hue. I paired it with a simple nude strappy sandal and layered the outfit with a cool body chain to give it an extra edge.

Sofia's thoughts: This look was my favorite, because it was unexpected, but attention grabbing and exciting. It was definitely a show stopper, just like Selena was. She loved hats and embellishments, so I made sure to find pieces that represented that, but were still chic and current.

Sofia's thoughts: This look was cool, comfortable, and totally seen in today's trends. Selena wore "mom jeans" in this look, which is a trend that is back in style, so I was super excited to feature a pair. I topped this look off with fun shades, a gold choker, and these amazing Jeffrey Campbell boots.
